    The second day of January came in like a lion, making me wonder if the year was shaping up to be the one of clarity I’m craving so much. Perhaps I became concerned about low visibility because of the blowing snow, but it was probably seeing the Jeep a few cars ahead spin into the…

  • Thoughts the day after getting hit by a truck

    So many new experiences this year I’d have been just fine without having. Some people say you’re never given more than you can handle- I say that a steaming pile of horse…stuff.
